Definitions
- the invention relates generally to wireless communications systems, and more particularly to self-organizing wireless communication network systems for maintaining uplink control for mobile terminals in peer-to-peer communication.
- Peer-to-peer communication between two mobile terminals provides a direct link between the two mobile terminals in public land mobile network.
- the direct link is established, the dedicated links between the base station and mobile terminals can be disconnected, while the common control channel (CCCH) is maintained. This will save at least two radio channels for the system and reduce the end-to-end delay.
- CCCH common control channel
- the TDD CDMA system is the most suitable system for the application of peer-to-peer communication, because the same carrier frequency is used in both uplink and downlink communications, which will simplify the RF module of the mobile terminal. Additionally, the application of peer-to-peer communication technology will overcome some inherent shortcomings of the TDD CDMA system, such as the shortage of spreading code, small coverage, etc.
- An example of the TDD CDMA system is the TD-SCDMA system, which has gained more popularity in China.
- the dedicated channels between the base station and the mobile terminals will be disconnected.
- the base station can still send control information to the mobile terminals through downlink CCCH.
- the base station will not need to receive information from the two mobile terminals and cannot obtain information about the midamble and control information from the mobile terminals.
- the mobile terminals also cannot transmit control information to the base station through dedicated uplink channels. If the mobile terminals need to transmit any control information to the base station, the only avenue is through the Random Access Channel (RACH). However, this channel is an uplink common channel, and all mobile terminals will have to contend to use it.
- RACH Random Access Channel
- any transmission of control information through this channel cannot ensure that the information will arrive the base station in a timely manner.
- This may cause serious problems. For example, if the mobile terminals determine that their direct communication link can no longer function properly and thus need the base station to provide assistance to allow them to return to the conventional communication mode, the mobile terminals cannot easily convey the relevant control information to the base station to take appropriate actions. Consequently, the mobile terminals may have to terminate the current communication and the restart it with the assistance from the base station.
- the present invention provides a wireless communication network system that addresses the limitations associated with the conventional system and maintains uplink control for the mobile terminal in peer-to-peer communication.
- the network system upon receiving a request from a mobile terminal for establishing peer-to-peer communication with another mobile terminal, determines whether a reliable direct communication link can be set up between the mobile terminals. Upon determining that a reliable direct communication can be set up, the network system transmits information including control commands to the mobile terminals for establishing direct communication. The information includes a burst structure type, with the burst structure containing at least one section for carrying control information intended for the network system.
- the network system continuously listens to signals communicated between the mobile terminals to receive bursts. The network system demodulates received bursts that are communicated between the two mobile terminals to determine whether a received burst contains control information intended for the network system. If control information intended for the network system is included in a received burst, the network performs a corresponding function. In this way, the network system can effectively maintain uplink control for the mobile terminals in peer-to-peer communication.

- FIG. 3 shows a standard burst structure used in the TD-SCDMA system
- FIG. 4 shows a burst structure according to one embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 5 shows a burst structure according to another embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 6 shows a burst structure according to yet another embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 7 illustrates a detailed process performed by a wireless communication network system (e.g., UTRAN) for establishing peer-to-peer communication between two mobile terminals, according to one embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 8 illustrates a detailed process performed by a mobile terminal for maintaining the uplink control with the UTRAN in peer-to-peer communication, according to one embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 9 illustrates basic components of a mobile terminal in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows an overview of peer-to-peer communication in a wireless communication network system (e.g., Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN)) environment, according to one embodiment of the invention.
- the UTRAN comprises a radio network controller (RNC) 10 and a Node B 16 (i.e., a base station).
- RNC radio network controller
- Node B 16 i.e., a base station.
- the UTRAN After receiving a request from a mobile terminal (UE1 or UE2) for peer-to-peer communication with another mobile terminal, the UTRAN will determine whether the distance between UE1 and UE2 is within the acceptable range for peer-to-peer communication. If the distance is within the range, the UEs will be requested to test the relevant channel characteristics.
- the UTRAN disconnects the dedicated channels between base station and mobile terminals, while it still listens to the signals communicated between UE1 and UE2 (as illustrated by the dash lines in FIG. 1), even though they are not intended for the UTRAN.
- SS Synchronization Shift
- It also provides an opportunity to the UEs to send control information to the UTRAN in certain situations where, for example, the two UEs have to disconnect the direct communication link and return to the conventional communication mode, due to a change in the channel characteristics.
- the control information should be included in the bursts communicated through the dedicated channels between the two UEs.
- FIG. 2 shows a standard subframe structure used in the TD-SCDMA system.
- the subframe structure includes seven time slots (illustrated with upward and downward arrows) for transmitting or receiving seven bursts, respectively.
- Each burst has a standard structure, as illustrated in FIG. 3 and includes two data sections, two control sections and a midamble section that divides the two data and control sections.
- Each data section is used to carry service information; and each control section is used to carry control information such as Transmission Format Combination Indication (TFCI), Transmission Power Control (TPC), etc.
- TFCI Transmission Format Combination Indication
- TPC Transmission Power Control
- the control section may include the SS command that is used for requesting a mobile terminal to adjust the transmission time.
- FIG. 4 shows a burst structure, also referred to as burst type, according to one embodiment of the invention.
- one control section is used to carry control information intended for the base station (BS) (e.g., Node B) or the BS (e.g., Node B) or the BS (e.g., Node B) or the
- control section is used to carry control information intended for the other UE.
- the relative positions of these two control sections may be reversed.
- FIG. 5 shows an alternative burst structure according to another embodiment of the invention.
- each control section is further divided into two sub-sections for carrying the control information intended for the BS and the other UE, respectively.
- FIG. 6 shows a burst structure according to yet another embodiment of the invention.
- the two control sections are time shared by the BS and the other UE, since not all bursts need to include the control information intended for both the BS and the UE at the same time.
- a flag section is thus used to indicate whether the control information is intended for the BS or the UE. For example, if the flag is set to 0, the control information is intended for the UE. On the other hand, if the flag is set to 1, the control information is intended for the BS.
- the UTRAN will inform the UEs which burst structure type is used through Radio
- RRC Resource Control
- FIG. 7 illustrates a detailed process 50 performed by the UTRAN for establishing peer-to-peer communication between two mobile terminals UE1 and UE2, according to one embodiment of the invention.
- the UTRAN determines whether the UEs can set up a reliable direct communication link, using conventional technologies (step S54). If a reliable direct communication link can be set up, the UTRAN will transmit control commands to each UE to initiate peer- to-peer communication and suspend the dedicated uplink and downlink channels of each UE through downlink signaling (step S56). In the meantime, the UTRAN also transmits the burst structure to the UEs (step S62).
- the UTRAN then listens to the signals communicated between the UEs
- step S66 uses the midamble in the received burst to make channel estimation and determine the Synchronization Shift the UE should adjust (step S68). If the Synchronization Shift should be adjusted, the UTRAN transmits control commands with the synchronization adjustment information to the UEs through the downlink CCCH for maintaining synchronization with the UTRAN in uplink (step S72). The UTRAN continuously demodulates received bursts that are communicated between the UEs to determine whether a received burst contains control information intended for the UTRAN (step S76). If the control information is intended for the UTRAN, the UTRAN will perform the corresponding function (step S82).
- the UTRAN will need to change the uplink control speed in response to the control information indicating a large decline in the Signal-to- Interference (SIR) ratio of the dedicated channels between the UEs.
- SIR Signal-to- Interference
- steps S66 through S76 will be repeated. In this way, the UTRAN continuously listens to the signals communicated between the UEs, demodulates received bursts and acts whenever appropriate, based on the control information contained in the received bursts.
- FIG. 8 illustrates a detailed process 100 performed by a mobile terminal for maintaining the uplink control with the UTRAN in peer-to-peer communication, according to one embodiment of the invention.
- each UE determines that a reliable direct communication link can be set up between the two UEs, each UE will receive control commands and other information from the UTRAN to establish a direct communication link (step S102). Each UE also receives the information about the burst structure type from the UTRAN that is recognizable by the UTRAN (step S106). Each UE further receives control commands and other information from the UTRAN for maintaining synchronization with the UTRAN in the uplink (step S112). Each UE will constantly determine whether it needs to send control information to the UTRAN (step S122).
- the UE When the UE requires the UTRAN to take certain actions, such as to change the uplink control speed, it will add the appropriate control information intended for the UTRAN in one or more bursts to be communicated to the other UE (step S126). However, if the UTRAN is not requested for taking any actions, no control information intended for the UTRAN will be included in bursts communicated to the other UE, and steps S112 through S122 will be repeated.
- FIG. 9 illustrates basic components of a mobile terminal 200 in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
- Mobile terminal 200 includes a RF unit 202, a baseband processor 206, a memory 212, a daa processing unit 216, and a plurality of peer-to-peer communication modules 222 (i.e., modules M1 through Mn).
- Communication modules 222 implement the various steps shown in FIG. 8.
- Each of modules 222 may be either a software module or a combination of software and hardware module.
- the hardware of the existing mobile terminal remains unchanged, while the communication modules 222 are all software modules.
- the UTRAN used in the invention has a similar structure as that shown in FIG. 9, and each of the corresponding modules 222 may be either a software module or a combination of software and hardware module for implementing the various steps shown in FIG. 7. Thus, its structure will not be separately illustrated.
- the hardware of the existing mobile terminal remains unchanged, while the corresponding modules 222 are all software modules.
- the invention has been illustrated in conjunction with a UTRAN in a TDD based system. However, it is not limited to the TDD based system. In fact, any wireless network system may be used in conjunction with the present invention. While the invention has been described in conjunction with specific embodiments, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description.
